SARPAS Lite for Android

SARPAS Lite, developed by Serviços e Informações do Brasil, is the mobile channel for requesting and managing Brazilian RPAS flight authorizations. The app shows an interactive, real-time aeronautical map, provides access to NOTAM and aeronautical restrictions, and lets registered pilots file access requests from the field. It links to the national SARPAS NG portal and stores profile and flight history data. The app is aimed at professional and recreational drone pilots operating within Brazilian territory who must comply with DECEA rules.

Official access and airspace awareness on a handheld device

SARPAS functions as the government's mobile channel for RPAS airspace access, combining the authorization request workflow with a live aeronautical map that highlights restricted zones and No-Fly areas. Because the tool is tied to the national SARPAS system and the Department of Airspace Control, requests enter the official authorization flow rather than third-party services, which keeps field actions aligned with Brazilian regulatory procedures.

Field planning follows a map-first request and submission flow

From the pilot's perspective the app centers on map interaction: sign in with your registered DECEA identity, pick the intended flight area on the interactive map, consult NOTAM and aeronautical restrictions, then submit an airspace access request. The mobile submission routes into the web portal so records and authorizations can be reconciled with national control channels; registered pilots can also view stored profiles and past flight entries.

An Android-first design that depends on live connectivity

The app is built for Android devices and relies on an active internet connection for real-time map updates and for submitting flight requests. It is distributed through the government's digital services account and connects the pilot's mobile session back to national control channels, allowing mobile actions to feed into official authorization workflows rather than a separate repository.

Lite scope and maintenance cadence limit complex missions

As a 'Lite' mobile channel the interface favors fast, on-site requests over the fuller planning tools found on the web portal, which can leave complex missions constrained. Offline consultation is limited to previously analyzed areas rather than full map editing, and user feedback calls out a need for consistent updates to maintain stability with newer Android versions, making the app sensitive to platform changes.

A practical, government mobile tool best for routine field authorizations

SARPAS is suited to pilots who need an authoritative, on-the-spot path to satisfy Brazilian airspace procedures during routine operations. Its mobile-first remit and reported compatibility concerns mean it is less appropriate when teams require elaborate mission editing or assured multi-device continuity. Operators dependent on desktop planning suites or multi-platform synchronization should evaluate the full web portal or dedicated mission-planning software instead.
